About the Course
Spring semester will be broken down into 2 parts. Weeks 13-18 we will be learning about life science and ecosystems by investigating biological structures and how organisms interact with their environment. A few projects will be creating a 3D edible cell model, building a self-sustaining terrarium, and exploring the human body by creating a hand model. Weeks 19-24 we will be learning about electricity and physical computing by creating hands-on electronics and hardware without relying solely on screen-based coding. A few of our projects will be creating playdough circuits, paper circuits using copper take and coin batteries, and exploring projects with Snap Circuits.
Class minimum is 4 students.

About Alexandria
Hi! Iām Alex McManus and I am excited for this opportunity to be teaching STEM projects this school year. I moved here to the southern Indiana area 15 years ago when I married my husband. We have three daughters, whom I have been homeschooling for 8 years. I enjoy teaching middle schoolers at church and for a non-profit organization for at-risk youths. I love to go on adventures, learn new hobbies, and go rockhounding.
